Summary

​​For hundreds of years, the Brown Mountain Lights in North Carolina have puzzled those who have encountered them. The lights, which appear over the Brown Mountain area, are often described as glowing orbs that move through the air. Some attribute the phenomenon to natural causes such as marsh gas or ball lightning, while others believe it could be related to ghost lights or even UFO activity. Despite numerous studies and investigations, the true cause of the Brown Mountain Lights remains a mystery. Help Southern Gothic grow by becoming a Patreon Supporter today!
